Delphidian infects Microbacterium foliorum NRRL B-24224 and is predicted to be lytic. Based on gene content similarity to sequenced actinobacteriophages, it has been assigned to cluster EA1. ## Linked entities - **Species:** Microbacterium foliorum (taxon 104336) ## Full-text entities - **Chemicals:** agar (MESH:D000362), PQ362667 (-) - **Species:** Microbacterium foliorum (species) [taxon 104336], Bacteriophage sp.
